Review on ๐Ÿ–ค Enhanced Custom Metal Dark Grey Analogue Thumb Sticks and Grey Chrome D-pad for Sony Dual Shock 4 PS4 Controllers by Cristina Villanueva

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but not the best.

These mini joysticks match the PS4 controller well and work perfectly. The center surface is very smooth, which can be a problem for some as they require a lot more thumb movement than other sticks (it takes longer to move the stick from side to side or make a circular motion). The outer edges of the thumbsticks feel very similar to Buwico sticks. The height of the neck of the thumb sticks is a bit short. This makes them unsuitable for use with thumb grips as the bottom edges of the rubber will contact the top surface of the controller ring and cause some friction. I've tried them with several thumb grips and they all had the same problem. If you intend to use them alone and find the above disadvantages acceptable, then they are worth a look. However, I would recommend Buwico branded sticks instead. Edit: I've spoken to a few different techs and they agree that aluminum thumbsticks tend to accelerate wear on the internal thumb sensor, leading to thumb drift symptoms. This is something to consider before purchasing.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not bad
